  Female head of government
  Female head of state
  Female head of state/government as the only elective position[a]
  Both female head of state and female head of government (separate posts)
  Female prime minister or state counselor as deputy to the combined head of state and government
Not shown: Four former sovereign states also had a female head of state or government (East Germany, Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Tannu Tuva).

The following is a list of women who have been elected head of state or government of their respective countries since the interwar period (1918–1939), and below that is a list of appointed heads of state. The first list includes female presidents who are heads of state and may also be heads of government, as well as female heads of government who are not concurrently head of state, such as prime ministers. The list does not include female monarchs who are head of state.[b]. Yevgenia Bosch is sometimes considered the first modern woman leader of a national government. She was Minister of Interior and the Acting Leader in 1917-18 of the People's Secretariat of Ukraine, one of a number of competing ruling bodies in the Ukrainian People's Republic.[1][2] Khertek Anchimaa-Toka, of the mostly unrecognized and now-defunct Tuvan People's Republic, is regarded as "first ever elected woman head of state in the world".[3] She became the chair of the country's presidium in 1940.

The first woman to be democratically elected as prime minister of a country was Sirimavo Bandaranaike of Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), when she led her party to victory at the 1960 general election.[4] The first woman to serve as president of a country was Isabel Martínez de Perón of Argentina, who as vice-president succeeded to the presidency in 1974 after the death of her husband. The first woman elected president of a country was Vigdís Finnbogadóttir of Iceland, who won the 1980 presidential election as well as three others to also become the longest-serving non-hereditary female head of state in history (16 years and 0 days in office).[3]

Also included in the first list are twelve women who have held an office styled either as Prime Minister or State Counsellor, during periods when the country had an executive presidency, and the Prime Minister (or a similar position) was not legally and constitutionally the head of government, but rather a deputy to the president who was the combined head of state and head of government. These countries are the Central African Republic (1960–1976), Guyana (since 1980), Sri Lanka (since 1978), Namibia (since 1990), South Korea (since 1987), Peru (since 1993), and Myanmar (since 2016). Such leaders are marked by an asterisk.

Elected or appointed female chief executives

This list includes women who were appointed by a governing committee or parliament where heads of state or government are not directly elected by citizens. The list does not include women chosen by a hereditary monarch.

Female viceregal representatives

  Incumbent

Below are women who have been appointed representatives of heads of state, such as female governors-general and French representatives of Andorra. As governors-general are appointed representatives of the monarch of the Commonwealth realms (currently Elizabeth II) and the French Representatives of Andorra are appointed representatives of the French Co-Prince of Andorra (currently Emmanuel Macron), they act as heads of state and carry out on a regular basis the functions and duties associated with such a role in the Commonwealth realms (excluding the United Kingdom, which has no governor-general, as the monarch of the Commonwealth realms primarily resides there) and Andorra, respectively.
